Actually, I liked how g-b-s did it better - rather than hardcoding
everything (such as --mandir=/usr/share/man), it followed GNU Coding
Standards (such as --mandir='${prefix}/share/man'), so that I can do 'make
prefix=/my/path' and mandir would automatically follow.  And now with
autoconf 2.60, we should be considering whether the new --datarootdir
needs to be specified, as well.

One other nit - g-b-s removed lib/charset.alias after 'make install',
since that file is managed by postinstall of info; multiple packages build
this file, and would conflict if g-b-s didn't avoid distributing it.
cyginstall should do likewise.
